"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP US!" cries filled the night sky as smoke drifted into the sky, a small village in Japan was completely lit up in flames and the paths were swarming with raised souls of the dead. Souls of the heroes that fought in wars that were being controlled for an evil purpose. Their rotting flesh underneath their cuirasses made for a disgusting sight for those weak at heart. They held samurai swords and chopped up anybody alive in their sight and anyone who would try to escape.

"No... NO, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE YANAIZU!" an injured man holding a buster sword in his hand limped down the blood covered paths and watched in horror as the village was being invaded "NOOOOO!" He cried as he watched children, women and men killed and laid to rot only to raise up as souls being controlled.

I will find you Yanaizu... i will kill you

Souls surrounded the man who was covered in his own blood and bruised completely from head to toe but regardless to his injuries he held up his sword getting ready for any attacks "I will survive and thrive to find you Yanaizu! SO I CAN CHOP YOU DOWN LIMB FROM LIMB UNTIL THERE IS NOTHING LEFT" Yelling from the top of his lungs because he knew that Yanaizu was listening.

"Zis vacation to Japan vas a wunderbar idea, don't you think?" Doc asked Keera, his fox, as he walked nonchalantly down the streets of the village, "Godzilla has nothing on zese demon spawn!" he laughed as he flicked the switch on the under barrel flamethrower of his AUG and released a few bursts of flame.

(If this isn't in a more modern setting, let me know, I can change my character)

//no haha, it's not modern sorry

Eliza ran through the horde of the undead, cutting left and right with her sword. Her light clothing allowed for easy movement, which she utilized at the fullest. She made it to the top of a hill and looked over the village for a second, before another raised soul attacked her. She smashed his blade aside and sunk hers in its neck, killing it for good.

It was a short glimpse, but she'd seen him. A man surrounded by the soulles, calling for help.
"OVER HERE!" Eliza yelled, as she started fighting her way down the hillside.

Declan held his chest in pain but didn't show, raising his buster sword up into the air blue flames surrounded the buster sword "forgive me... I could not stop this..." with a strong swing into the ground he was able to create a shock wave big enough to completely annihilate the surrounding souls.

His body had reached its limit and further making him fall to his knee and gasp for air. He was in no condition to follow the woman but he forced himself up and limped towards her.

Eliza reached Declan unharmed and helped him up, supporting him. "How are you feeling?"

"Perfect..." He mumbled in sarcasm, getting up. They made their way down the path slowly before a group of souls blocked their exit "st-stop, they're not tough but I'd rather not have another life he taken because I could not fight..." Moving his arm from her shoulder he held his arm out towards the souls. Blood started to drip from his nose since he pushed his body too far. His eyes turned an electric blue whilst a bow appeared in his hand, it had no physical form more like a spiritual one. He pulled back the string causing an arrow for each soul to appear then let to sending the arrows hurdling towards the souls killing all of them "it is my fault their not resting anyway..."

"I can take care of myself, don't worry.You're pushing yourself too far."

The wolf anthro ran through the streets, his eyes wide with fear and tail between his legs. He had a quiver over his back and held a bow stolen from an imperial armory. He nearly collapsed as e approached Eliza and Declan.
"H-help... Please..." he whimpered and then did collapse.

(Dontbetrippen... It's they're, not their. Their is possessive, they're means they are. *shot for being a Grammar Nazi*)

"Dear gods am I the only one who can still fight?" She smiled, but grew serious again. "Are they following you?"

//Yeah I know, I'm using a phone and it was 3:05 so I couldn't concentrate well

Declan turned to see the anthro however, his eyes blurred when he grid to focus. Pretty soon he collapsed straight onto the floor as his legs gave out but he was still conscious. Using his buster sword to help himself up he was able to get up half way before falling once more.

Eliza looked at both of them and sighed dramatically. "How many were following you?" he asked Andrew.

"I-I don't know..." he struggled and succeeded to stand but was wobbly, "I just ran... They kept on hitting me though...." he had several massive cuts going down his back and one stab wound in his leg.

"They won't be far behind then."

Declan forced himself up once more succeed just barely "we need to... hurry, there's not... Not much... Time" he pointed down the path and used his busted sword for support as he limped down "there should be some horses there"

Andrew walked to Declan and wrapped one of the mans arms over his shoulder and helped I support him despite his own injuries.

As they approached the horses Declan thanked Andrew and got on his horse "I would truly appreciate it if someone would... Help me ride I would... Truly appreciate it..." He said holding his side trying to stop the blood "we must hurry, they are following us..."

Eliza whistled and her own horse came running. "Can you two help eachother on?" She mounted and pulled her blade free from the sheath on her back. "I'll keep them at bay."

Declan just shook his head then mounted a horse with all of his energy "it's okay, I'll do it myself..." Kicking at the horse he sped off leaving a cloud of dirt and ash to raise up after ...your souls will be at rest again... I swear it... Or I'll die trying... what was going on was truly his fault and he was not about to give up and let Yanaizu's evil ways have their way over the world.
